Drives are employed for systems that require motion control

– e.g. transportation system, fans, robots, pumps, machine

tools, etc. Prime movers are required in drive systems to

provide the movement or motion and energy t hat is used to

provide the motion can come from various sources: diesel

engines, petrol engines, hydraulic motors, electric motors etc.

Drives that use electric motors as the prime movers are

known as electrical drives

There are several advantages of electrical drives:

a. Flexible control characteristic – This is particularly true

when power electronic converters are employed where the

dynamic and steady state characteristics of the motor can be controlled by controlling the applied voltage

or current.

LIGHTENING HARNESSING

Lightning is one of the most beautiful displays in nature yet it is

the most deadly natural phenomenon known to man. Benjamin

Franklin was the first to prove electricity in lightning in 1752, yet,

we still remain in awe of lightning which flashes in its mystery.

Early studies done to find that lightning is electricity paved the way

for this article, to investigate the power behind the lightning, its

source and the possibilities of harnessing lightning power. It has

been estimated that lightning strikes somewhere on the surface of

the Earth about 100 times every second. Despite its frequency of

occurrence lightning electricity could not be transformed into a

useful quality. Article By: A.SRAVYA, II EEE

NANO TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS

The application

of nanotechnology in

various applied fields

is receiving wide-

spread attention. It

is important to en-

sure that these ap-

plications address

real questions to

allow the technology

to improve general

well-being of the public, especially when evaluating applica-

tion in the area of civil engineering. This chapter focuses on

the specific applications of nanotechnology in the field of road

pavements. The main objectives of pavements are to provide a

safe and durable surface on which vehicles can travel, while

protecting the underlying layers of material during all envi-

ronmental conditions.

GUEST LECTURES

The one day guest lecture on “Electricity: generation, transmission,

distribution” is organized by Department of EEE on 13th February 2013 un-

der TEQIP-II. The Guest lecture aims at developing technical skills and ba-

sic foundation in the areas of Power System such as generation of power by

using gas, different types of transformers used in the power station from

generation to generation, internal parts of the turbine.

The Resource person for the workshop is O.V.J.RAJA who is work-

ing as a Divisional Engineer at APTRANSCO, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh

about 120 participants were appeared form III & IV B.Tech-EEE.
